On Monday, October 5 my stepdad Dale left for a 12 month deployment to Iraq. He is a Blackhawk pilot and we're so proud of him! It was really sad to say goodbye and we're going to miss him a lot. Emily is going to miss him too. We went to the deployment ceremony and were able to watch them fly away. As they were flying away Emily would put her fist in the air and say "Go Grandpa!" It was so cute.

Here's a link to the story on ksl. There's actually a photo of my mom and Dale in the photo gallery and they are quoted in the story about their grandkids and stuff.
